Outside the WBO's Tokyo office, the pavement has become crowded with reporters and camera crews waiting for Cabello to emerge. In fact, the WBO has never released anything about the disciplinary hearing, while Ronin has continued avoiding the press entirely, refusing to comment on the dispute over Cabello's unpaid purse.
Most of the reporters have actually come because of Cabello himself. His own social-media posts, accusing Ryoma and Ronin of withholding his ten-million-dollar fight purse unjustly, had made it clear that he intended to turn the dispute into a public confrontation.
Several reporters have already prepared questions about the money, expecting Cabello to emerge with an explosive statement against Ronin.
When the doors finally open and Cabello appears with Rivera and his local attorney, the reporters move immediately.
"Mr. Cabello! What happened inside?"
"Did the WBO make a decision about your purse?"
"Are you getting your ten million dollars?"
